Soar a Burning Sky Echoes of EonThera Book One by Steven Michael Beck

Genre: YA Eco-Dystopian Fantasy

**Outstanding Creator Awards Winner!**

Long before the Great Clock of Stars began turning, the destinies of Earth and its soul were entwined. For centuries these twin worlds, Earth and EonThera, existed in harmony, in perfect balance. However, as SOAR A BURNING SKY opens, EonThera is now divided and aflame. Earth’s radically shifting climate not only wreaks havoc upon its own, but rains hell upon those occupying its soul. Reluctantly, T’Aura, the last of EonThera’s shape-shifting Change Masters emerges from seclusion and, in a final act of desperation, resolves to gather warriors from the very realm responsible for EonThera’s suffering: Earth itself. 

Four seemingly ordinary teenagers heed the steward’s call, embarking on a journey that scatters them across the treacherous climes of Earth’s surreal doppelgänger. In the unfolding chaos, their fates converge, ultimately guiding them toward theirs and the Change Master’s true calling: to restore The Ticking, the equilibrium necessary to prevent the body and its soul from perishing together. Only by re-opening the Guardian Gate—the portal that circulates the Ticking’s life-giving energy between the twin dominions—can T’Aura and her new TerraTo’Kai reveal to both worlds the relationship they actually share: that each requires the other in order to survive.

SOAR A BURNING SKY is a Young Adult eco-dystopian fantasy complete at 105,000 words.  With its captivating characters, its intricate world-building, and its heart-pounding set pieces, it would be perfect for fans of Suzanne Collins and James Dasher.
